------
corporation ("▇▇▇▇▇▇"), and certain Subsidiaries of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereafter parties
------
hereto (individually, with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, each
a "Lessee" and collectively, the "Lessees"), as Lessees.
------ -------
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
A. Lessor will purchase, or acquire a leasehold interest in, from one or
more third parties designated by the Construction Agent, on a Closing Date,
certain parcels of real property to be specified by the Construction Agent,
together with any improvements thereon.
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ desires to lease to each Lessee, and each Lessee desires to
lease from Lessor, certain of such properties as described on the Lease
Supplement(s) to which such Lessee is a party.
C. If applicable, the Construction Agent will, on behalf of Lessor, cause
to be constructed, certain improvements on such parcels of real property which
as constructed will be the property of Lessor and will become part of such
property subject to the terms of this Lease.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Lessor and
Lessees hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.

in Section 3 of the Master Agreement, hereby agrees to accept delivery on such
Closing Date of such Land pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement,
together with any Building or Buildings and other improvements thereon, and
simultaneously to lease to the related Lessee hereunder for the Lease Term,
Lessor's interest in such Land and in such Building or Buildings and other
improvements, together with

--------------------
employees of the related Lessee, to be designated by such Lessee, as the
authorized representative or representatives of Lessor to accept delivery on

---------
completed) shall, without further act, constitute the irrevocable acceptance by

purposes of this Lease and the other Operative Documents on the terms set forth
therein and herein, and that such Leased Property, together with, in the case of
Land, any and all Buildings and other improvements thereon and/or to be

deemed to be included in the leasehold estate of this Lease and shall be subject

parcel of Land and each such Building shall at all times be demised and leased
to the related Lessee hereunder.

----------
Date occurring after the Initial Closing Date, each Lessee shall pay to the
Agent the Basic Rent for the Leased Properties subject to a Lease Supplement to

-----------------
to whomever shall be entitled thereto as expressly provided herein or in any
other Operative Document, any and all Supplemental Rent on the date the same

writing to the related Lessee, and at such place as the Agent (or such other
Person) shall specify in writing to the related Lessee. Each payment of Rent
(including payments under Article XIV hereof) shall be made by the Lessees prior
-----------
to 12:00 p.m. (noon) Atlanta, Georgia time at the place of payment in funds
consisting of lawful currency of the United States of America which shall be

payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent agrees, at
a Lessee's request, to arrange for automated clearing house debits from such
Lessee's accounts for payments due hereunder.
Section III.4 Late Payment. If any Basic Rent shall not be paid on the
------------
date when due, the related Lessee shall pay to the Agent, as Supplemental Rent,
interest (to the maximum extent permitted by law) on such overdue amount from
and including the due date thereof to but excluding the Business Day of payment
thereof at the Overdue Rate.
Section III.5 Net Lease; No Setoff, Etc. This Lease is a net lease and
-------------------------
notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, each Lessee shall pay all
Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent, and all costs, charges, assessments and other
expenses foreseen or unforeseen, for which such Lessee is or shall become liable
by reason of such Lessee's estate, right, title or interest in the Leased
Properties, or that are connected with or arise out of the acquisition (except
the initial costs of purchase by Lessor of its interest in any Leased Property,
which costs, subject to the terms of the Master Agreement, shall be funded by
the Funding Parties pursuant to the Master Agreement), construction (except
costs to be funded under the Construction Agency Agreement), installation,
possession, use, occupancy, maintenance, ownership, leasing, repairs and
rebuilding of, or addition to, the Leased Properties or any portion thereof, and
any other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Operative Documents
without counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense and without abatement,
suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and each Lessee's obligation to
pay all such amounts throughout the Lease Term, including the Construction Term,
is absolute and unconditional. The obligations and liabilities of each Lessee
hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected for any
reason, including without limitation: (a) any defect in the condition,
merchantability, design, quality or fitness for
3
use of any Leased Property or any part thereof, or the failure of any Leased
Property to comply with all Applicable Law, including any inability to occupy or
use any Leased Property by reason of such non-compliance; (b) any damage to,
removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, contamination of or Release from, scrapping
or destruction of or any requisition or taking of any Leased Property or any
part thereof; (c) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference
with any use of any Leased Property or any part thereof including eviction; (d)
any defect in title to or rights to any Leased Property or any Lien on such
title or rights or on any Leased Property; (e) any change, waiver, extension,
indulgence or other action or omission or breach in respect of any obligation or
liability of or by Lessor, the Agent or any Lender; (f) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or
other like proceedings relating to any Lessee, Lessor, any Lender, the Agent or
any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Lease by any trustee
or receiver of any Lessee, Lessor, any Lender, the Agent, any Ground Lessor or
any other Person, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (g) any claim that
any Lessee has or might have against any Person, including without limitation,
Lessor, any vendor, manufacturer, contractor of or for any Leased Property or
any part thereof, the Agent, any Ground Lessor, any Governmental Authority, or
any Lender; (h) any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any
of the terms of this Lease, any other Operative Document, any applicable IDB
Documentation or of any other agreement; (i) any invalidity or unenforceability
or illegality or disaffirmance of this Lease against or by any Lessee or any
provision hereof or any of the other Operative Documents or any provision of any
thereof whether or not related to the Transaction; (j) the impossibility or
illegality of performance by any Lessee, Lessor or both; (k) any action by any
court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority; (l) any
restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with the Construction
or any use of any Leased Property or any part thereof; or (m) any other
occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether
or not any Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. Except
as specifically set forth in Articles XIV or X of this Lease, this Lease shall
------------ -
be noncancellable by each Lessee in any circumstance whatsoever and each Lessee,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, waives all rights now or hereafter
conferred by statute or otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease, or
to any diminution, abatement or reduction of Rent payable by such Lessee
hereunder, provided that each Lessee shall retain the right to pursue a cause of
--------
action against Lessor for damages for a breach by Lessor of its obligations
under the Operative Documents. Each payment of Rent made by a Lessee hereunder
shall be final and such Lessee shall not seek or have any right to recover all
or any part of such payment from Lessor, the Agent, any Lender or any party to
any agreements related thereto for any reason whatsoever. Each Lessee assumes
the sole responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, and
management of the Leased Properties leased by it and Lessor shall have no
responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no liability for damage to the
property of either any Lessee or any subtenant of any Lessee on any account or
for any reason whatsoever, other than solely by reason of Lessor's willful
misconduct or gross negligence (other than gross negligence or willful
misconduct imputed to Lessor as a result of any action or inaction on the part
of a Lessee).
4
Section III.6 Certain Taxes. Without limiting the generality of Section
------------- -------
3.5, each Lessee agrees to pay when due all real estate taxes, personal property
---
taxes, gross sales taxes, including any sales or lease tax imposed upon the
rental payments hereunder or under a sublease, occupational license taxes, water
charges, sewer charges, assessments of any nature and all other governmental
impositions and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever (the "tax(es)"),
-------
when the same shall be due and payable without penalty or interest; provided,
--------
however, that this Section shall not apply to any of the taxes covered by the
-------
exclusion described in Section 7.4(b) of the Master Agreement. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that, insofar as the same may lawfully be done,
Lessor shall be, except as specifically provided for herein, free from all
expenses in any way related to the Leased Properties and the use and occupancy
thereof. Any tax relating to a fiscal period of any taxing authority falling
partially within and partially outside the Lease Term, shall be apportioned and
adjusted between Lessor and the related Lessee. Each Lessee covenants to
furnish Lessor and the Agent, upon the Agent's written request, within forty-
five (45) days after the last date when any tax must be paid by such Lessee as
provided in this Section 3.6, copies of official receipts of the appropriate
-----------
taxing, authority or other proof satisfactory to Lessor, evidencing the payment
thereof.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the related
Lessee may defer payment of a tax so long as the validity or the amount thereof
is contested by such Lessee with diligence and in good faith; provided, however,
-------- -------
that such Lessee shall pay the tax in sufficient time to prevent delivery of a
tax deed. Such contest shall be at the related Lessee's sole cost and expense.
Each Lessee covenants to indemnify and save harmless Lessor, the Agent and each
Lender from any actual and reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lessor, the
Agent or any Lender as a result of such contest, which indemnification shall
survive the termination of this Lease; provided that neither the Agent nor any
--------
Lender shall be entitled to claim any indemnity against any Lessee pursuant to
this sentence with respect to any Construction Land Interest during the
Construction Term therefor.
Section III.7 Utility Charges. Each Lessee agrees to pay or cause to be
---------------
paid as and when the same are due and payable all charges for gas, water, sewer,
electricity, lights, heat, power, telephone or other communication service and
all other utility services used, rendered or supplied to, upon or in connection
with the Leased Properties leased by it.
ARTICLE IV.
WAIVERS
-------
5
During the Lease Term, Lessor's interest in the Leased Properties,
including the Equipment, the Building(s) (whether or not completed) and the
Land, is demised and let by Lessor "AS IS" subject to (a) the rights of any
parties in possession thereof, (b) the state of the title thereto existing at
the time Lessor acquired its interest in the Leased Properties, (c) any state of
facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection might show (including the
survey delivered on the related Closing Date), (d) all Applicable Law, and (e)
any violations of Applicable Law which may exist upon or subsequent to the
commencement of the Lease Term. EACH LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, ALTHOUGH LESSOR
WILL OWN AND HOLD TITLE TO THE LEASED PROPERTIES, LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER
OF, OR DEALER IN ANY LEASED PROPERTY, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN,
DEVELOPMENT, BUDGETING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING(S) OR ANY ALTERATIONS.
NEITHER LESSOR, THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO
HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE VALUE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE,
HABITABILITY, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE LEASED
PROPERTIES (OR ANY PART THEREOF), OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED PROPERTIES (OR ANY
PART THEREOF), ALL SUCH WARRANTIES BEING HEREBY DISCLAIMED, AND NEITHER LESSOR,
THE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT
DEFECT THEREIN OR THE FAILURE OF ANY LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO
COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW, except that Lessor hereby represents and
warrants that each Leased Property is and shall be free of Lessor Liens. As
between Lessor and the Lessees, each related Lessee has been afforded full
opportunity to inspect each Leased Property, is satisfied with the results of
its inspections of such Leased Property and is entering into this Lease solely
on the basis of the results of its own inspections and all risks incident to the
matters discussed in the two preceding sentences, as between Lessor, the Agent
or the Lenders on the one hand, and the Lessees, on the other, are to be borne
by the Lessees, except for the foregoing representation and warranty of Lessor
relative to the absence of Lessor Liens. The provisions of this Article IV have
----------
been negotiated, and, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated, the
foregoing provisions are intended to be a complete exclusion and negation of any
representations or warranties by Lessor, the Agent or the Lenders, express or
implied, with respect to the Leased Properties, that may arise pursuant to any
law now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise.
6
ARTICLE V.
LIENS; EASEMENTS; PARTIAL CONVEYANCES
-------------------------------------
Each Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days following knowledge thereof,
discharge or bond over any Lien on or with respect to any Leased Property, the
title thereto, or any interest therein, including any Liens which arise out of
the possession, use, occupancy, construction, repair or rebuilding of any Leased
Property or by reason of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been
furnished to a Lessee, or any of its contractors or agents or Alterations
constructed by a Lessee, except, in all cases, Permitted Liens or Lessor Liens.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, at the request of a Lessee, Lessor
shall, from time to time during the Lease Term and upon reasonable advance
written notice from such Lessee, and within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the
materials specified in the next succeeding sentence, consent to and join in any
(i) grant of easements, licenses, rights of way and other rights in the nature
of easements, including, without limitation, utility easements to facilitate
Lessees' use, development and construction of the Leased Properties, (ii)
release or termination of easements, licenses, rights of way or other rights in
the nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Land or the Building(s)
or any portion thereof, (iii) dedication or transfer of portions of the Land,
not improved with a Building, for road, highway or other public purposes, (iv)
execution of agreements for ingress and egress and amendments to any covenants
and restrictions affecting the Land or the Building(s) or any portion thereof
and (v) request to any Governmental Authority for platting or subdivision or
replatting or resubdivision approval with respect to the Land or any portion
thereof or any parcel of land of which the Land or any portion thereof forms a
part or a request for rezoning or any variance from zoning or other governmental
requirements. Lessor's obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
subject to the requirements that:
(a) any such action shall be at the sole cost and expense of the
requesting Lessee and such Lessee shall pay all actual and reasonable out-of-
pocket costs of Lessor, the Agent and any Lender in connection therewith
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of attorneys, architects,
engineers, planners, appraisers and other professionals reasonably retained by
Lessor, the Agent or any Lender in connection with any such action),
(b) the requesting Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor and Agent a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Lessee stating that
(i) such action will not cause any Leased Property, the Land or
any Building or any portion thereof to fail to comply in any material
respect with the provisions of this Lease or any other Operative Documents
or any applicable IDB Documentation, or in any material respect with
Applicable Law; and
7
(ii) such action will not materially reduce the Fair Market Sales
Value, utility or useful life of any Leased Property, the Land or any
Building nor Lessor's interest therein; and
(c) in the case of any release or conveyance, if Lessor, the Agent or
any Lender so reasonably requests, the requesting Lessee will cause to be issued
and delivered to Lessor and the Agent by the Title Insurance Company an
endorsement to the Title Policy which shall revise the insured legal description
to delete the released property, and shall indicate that the Title Policy is in
full force and effect at the original policy amount.
In addition to the foregoing, the related Lessee may arrange for a sale of
a portion of the Leased Property located at the southeast corner of N.W. 108th
Avenue and N.W. 91st Terrace, Miami, Florida and Lessor shall execute such
documents and instruments as may be requested by such Lessee to effect such
sale, provided that all of the following conditions are met: (i) after giving
--------
effect to such sale, the Leased Property complies with all Applicable Laws
(including all zoning laws and regulations) and all applicable insurance
requirements, (ii) after giving effect to such sale, such Leased Property has
available all services of public facilities and other utilities, together with
all means of egress and ingress, to and from such Leased Property, necessary for
the use and operation of such Leased Property for its intended purpose, (iii)
the net proceeds of such sale shall be at least equal to the diminution in the
Fair Market Sales Value of such Leased Property resulting from such sale, and
shall be applied to reduce the Funded Amounts (on a pro rata basis, among the
Funding Parties) related thereto, (iv) such sale shall be on an "as is, where
is" basis, without representation or recourse on the part of Lessor, (v) the
related Lessee shall pay, or shall promptly reimburse the Agent and the Funding
Parties for, all out of pocket costs and expenses, including legal fees and
disbursements, incurred by any of them in connection with such sale, and (vi)
the related Lessee shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the
effect that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied and such other
certificates and documents as the Agent or any Funding Party shall reasonably
request.

ARTICLE VI.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR;
ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS
----------------------------------------
Section VI.1 Maintenance and Repair; Compliance With Law. Each Lessee,
-------------------------------------------
at its own expense, shall at all times (a) maintain each Leased Property leased
by it in good repair and condition (subject to ordinary wear and tear), in
accordance with prudent industry standards and, in any event, in no less a
manner as other similar property owned or leased by such Lessee or its
Affiliates, (b) make all Alterations in accordance with, and maintain (whether
or not such maintenance requires structural modifications or Alterations) and
operate and otherwise keep each Leased Property in compliance in all material
respects with, all Applicable Laws and insurance requirements, and (c) make all
repairs, replacements and renewals of each Leased Property or any part thereof
which may be required to keep such Leased Property in the condition required by
the preceding clauses (a) and (b). Each Lessee shall perform the foregoing
----------- ---
maintenance obligations regardless of whether any Leased Property is occupied or
unoccupied. Each Lessee waives any right that it may now have or hereafter
acquire to (i) require Lessor, the Agent or any Lender to maintain, repair,
replace, alter, remove or rebuild all or any part of any Leased Property or (ii)
make repairs at the expense of Lessor, the Agent or any Lender pursuant to any
Applicable Law or other agreements or otherwise. NEITHER LESSOR, THE AGENT NOR
ANY LENDER SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE TO ANY LESSEE OR TO ANY CONTRACTORS,
SUBCONTRACTORS, LABORERS, MATERIALMEN, SUPPLIERS OR VENDORS FOR SERVICES
PERFORMED OR MATERIAL PROVIDED ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LEASED PROPERTY OR
ANY PART THEREOF. Neither Lessor, the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to
maintain, alter, repair, rebuild or replace any Leased Property in any way.
Section VI.2 Alterations. Each Lessee may, without the consent of Lessor,
-----------
at such Lessee's own cost and expense, make Alterations which do not diminish
the value, utility or useful life of any Leased Property.
Section VI.3 Title to Alterations. Title to all Alterations shall without
--------------------
further act vest in Lessor (subject to each Lessee's right to remove trade
fixtures, personal property and equipment which do not constitute Alterations
and which were not acquired with funds advanced by Lessor or any Lender) and
shall be deemed to constitute a part of the Leased Properties and be subject to
this Lease.
9
ARTICLE VII.
USE
---
Each Lessee may use each Leased Property leased by it or any part thereof
for any lawful purpose, and in a manner consistent with the standards applicable
to properties of a similar nature in the geographic area in which such Leased
Property is located, provided that such use does not materially adversely affect
--------
the Fair Market Sales Value, utility, remaining useful life or residual value of
such Leased Property, and does not materially violate or conflict with, or
constitute or result in a material default under, any Applicable Law or any
insurance policy required hereunder. In the event that any use of any of the
Leased Property changes the character or original intended use of such Leased
Property and the Lessees do not purchase the Leased Properties at the end of the
Lease Term, the related Lessee, upon request of Lessor, shall restore such
Leased Property to its general character and intended use on the Closing Date or
Completion Date therefor, ordinary wear and tear excepted. No Lessee shall
commit or permit any waste of any Leased Property or any material part thereof.
ARTICLE VIII.
INSURANCE
---------
The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to Leased Properties
------------
that are not then subject to the Construction Agency Agreement. For any Leased
Property subject to the Construction Agency Agreement, the Lessee shall maintain
insurance in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Construction Agency Agreement.
(a) At any time during which any part of any Building or any
Alteration is under construction and as to any part of any Building or any

insurance.
(b) During the Lease Term, each Lessee shall maintain, at its sole
cost and expense, as a part of its blanket policies or otherwise, insurance
against loss or damage to any Building or any item of equipment included in the

be, from time to time.
(c) During the Lease Term, each Lessee shall maintain, at its sole
cost and expense, commercial general liability insurance with respect to such

Affiliates with respect to similar properties or equipment that it owns or
leases, but in no event less than $1,000,000 general liability, plus $5,000,000
liability umbrella coverage, per occurrence. Such insurance policies shall also
provide that each Lessee's insurance shall be considered primary insurance.
Nothing in this Article VIII shall prohibit Lessor, the Agent or any Lender from
------------
carrying at its own expense other insurance on or with respect to the Leased
Properties, provided that any insurance carried by Lessor, the Agent or any
--------
Lender shall not prevent any Lessee from carrying the insurance required hereby.

Such certificates shall include a provision for thirty (30) days' advance
written notice by the insurer to Lessor and the Agent in the event of

Article VIII shall provide that in respect of the interests of Lessor, the Agent

subrogation against the others to the extent of the losses paid under insurance
policies.
(g) All insurance policies carried in accordance with this Article
-------
VIII shall be maintained with insurers rated at least A- by A.M. Best & Company,

ARTICLE X.
LOSS, DESTRUCTION, CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE
-----------------------------------------
12
Section X.1 Event of Loss. Any event (i) which would otherwise
-------------
constitute a Casualty during the Base Term, and (ii) which, in the good-faith
judgment of the related Lessee, (A) requires repairs to the related Leased
Property that would cost in excess of 50% of the original cost of such Leased
Property or (B) renders repair and restoration of the related Leased Property
impossible or impractical, and with respect to which such Lessee has determined
not to repair and restore such Leased Property (it being understood that the
-- ----- ----------
Lessee shall have the option to either purchase the affected Leased Property or
repair and restore the affected Leased Property) shall constitute an "Event of
--------
Loss". Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such event, the related
----
Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an Officer's Certificate notifying Lessor of such
event and of such judgment and decision not to repair and restore. In the case
of any other event which constitutes a Casualty, the related Lessee shall
restore such Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.3. If an Event of Loss
------------
other than an Event of Taking shall occur, the related Lessee shall purchase the
affected Leased Property pursuant to Section 14.1 on the earlier of (i) the
------------
Lease Termination Date and (ii) the next Payment Date occurring not less than
sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Officer's Certificate pursuant to the
second preceding sentence; provided that if such an Event of Loss shall occur
--------
during the Construction Term for such Leased Property, the related Lessee may,
at such Lessee's option, pay to the Lessor the Construction Failure Payment
instead of paying the Leased Property Balance as the purchase price for such
Leased Property (in which case the Lessor shall retain the Lessor's interest in
such Leased Property, subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 of the
-----------
Construction Agency Agreement with respect to remarketing). Upon Lessor's
receipt of such Leased Property Balance on such date, Lessor shall cause
Lessor's interest in such Leased Property to be conveyed to the related Lessee
in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 14.5 hereof; upon
------------
completion of such purchase (or payment of the Construction Failure Payment, as
the case may be), but not prior thereto, this Lease with respect to such Leased
Property and all obligations hereunder with respect to such Leased Property
shall terminate, except with respect to obligations and liabilities hereunder,
actual or contingent, that have arisen or relate to events occurring on or prior
to such date of purchase, or which are expressly stated herein to survive
termination of this Lease.
Upon the consummation of the purchase of any Leased Property pursuant to
this Section 10.1, any proceeds derived from insurance required to be maintained
------------
by the related Lessee pursuant to this Lease for any Leased Property remaining
after payment of such purchase price shall be paid over to, or retained by, such
Lessee or as it may direct, and Lessor shall assign to such Lessee, without
warranty, all of Lessor's rights to and interest in such insurance required to
be maintained by such Lessee pursuant to this Lease.
Section X.2 Event of Taking. Any event (i) which constitutes a
---------------
Condemnation of all of, or substantially all of, a Leased Property, or (ii) (A)
which would otherwise constitute a Condemnation, and (B) which, in the good-
faith judgment of the related Lessee, (A) requires repairs to the related Leased
Property that would cost in excess of 50% of the original cost of such Leased
Property or (B) renders restoration and rebuilding of the related Leased
Property impossible or impractical, and with respect to which such Lessee has
determined not to repair
13
and restore such Leased Property (it being understood that the Lessee shall have
-- ----- ----------
the option to either purchase the affected Leased Property or repair and restore
the affected Leased Property) shall constitute an "Event of Taking". Within
---------------
sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such event, the related Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor an Officer's Certificate notifying Lessor of such event and of
such judgment and decision not to repair and restore. In the case of any other
event which constitutes a Condemnation, the related Lessee shall restore and
rebuild such Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.4. If an Event of Taking
------------
shall occur, the related Lessee shall purchase the affected Leased Property
pursuant to Section 14.1 on the earlier of (A) the Lease Termination Date and
------------
(B) the next Payment Date occurring not less than sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such Event of Taking, in the case of an Event of Taking described
in clause (i) above, or (2) on the earlier of (A) the Lease Termination Date and
----------
(B) the next Payment Date occurring not less than 60 days after the delivery of
the Officer's Certificate pursuant to the second preceding sentence, in the case
of an Event of Taking described in clause (ii) above, an amount equal to the
-----------
related Leased Property Balance; provided that, if such an Event of Taking shall
--------
occur during the Construction Term for such Leased Property, the related Lessee
may, at such Lessee's option, pay to the Lessor the Construction Failure Payment
instead of paying the Leased Property Balance as the purchase price for such
Leased Property (in which case the Lessor shall retain the Lessor's interest in
such Leased Property, subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 of the
Construction Agency Agreement with respect to remarketing). Upon Lessor's
receipt of such Leased Property Balance on such date, Lessor shall cause
Lessor's interest in such Leased Property, and in all condemnation proceeds
related thereto, to be conveyed to the related Lessee in accordance with and
subject to the provisions of Section 14.5 hereof (provided that such conveyance
-------------
shall be subject to all rights of the condemning authority); upon completion of
such purchase (or payment of the Construction Failure Payment, as the case may
be), but not prior thereto, this Lease with respect to such Leased Property and
all obligations hereunder with respect to such Leased Property shall terminate,
except with respect to obligations and liabilities hereunder, actual or
contingent, that have arisen or relate to events occurring on or prior to such
date of purchase, or which are expressly stated herein to survive termination of
this Lease.
Upon the consummation of the purchase of such Leased Property pursuant to
this Section 10.2, all Awards received by Lessor, after deducting any reasonable
------------
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lessor in collecting such Awards, received or
payable on account of an Event of Taking with respect to such Leased Property
during the related Lease Term shall be promptly paid to the related Lessee, and
all rights of Lessor in Awards not then received shall be assigned to Lessee by
Lessor.
Section X.3 Casualty. If a Casualty shall occur after the Construction
--------
Period for the affected Leased Property which is not an Event of Loss, the
related Lessee shall rebuild and restore the affected Leased Property, will
complete the same prior to the Lease Termination Date, and will cause the
condition set forth in Section 3.5 (c) of the Master Agreement to be fulfilled
with respect to such restoration and rebuilding prior to the Lease Termination
Date, regardless of whether insurance proceeds received as a result of such
Casualty are sufficient for such purpose.
14
Section X.4 Condemnation. If a Condemnation shall occur after the
------------
Construction Period for the affected Leased Property which is not an Event of
Taking, the related Lessee shall rebuild and restore the affected Leased
Property, will complete the same prior to the Lease Termination Date, and will
cause the condition set forth in Section 3.5 (c) of the Master Agreement to be
fulfilled with respect to such restoration and rebuilding prior to the Lease
Termination Date.
Section X.5 Verification of Restoration and Rebuilding. In the event of
------------------------------------------
Casualty or Condemnation that involves, or is reasonably expected to involve,
repair or rebuilding costs in excess of $1,000,000, to verify the related
Lessee's compliance with the foregoing Section 10.3 or 10.4, as appropriate,
------------ ----
Lessor, the Agent, the Lenders and their respective authorized representatives
may, upon five (5) Business Days' notice to such Lessee, make a reasonable
number of inspections of the affected Leased Property with respect to (i) the
extent of the Casualty or Condemnation and (ii) the restoration and rebuilding
of the related Building and the Land. All actual and reasonable out-of-pocket
costs of such inspections incurred by Lessor, the Agent or any Lender will be
paid by the related Lessee promptly after written request. No such inspection
shall unreasonably interfere with the related Lessee's operations or the
operations of any other occupant of such Leased Property. None of the
inspecting parties shall have any duty to make any such inspection or inquiry
and none of the inspecting parties shall incur any liability or obligation by
reason of making or not making any such inspection or inquiry.
Section X.6 Application of Payments. All proceeds (except for payments
-----------------------
under insurance policies maintained other than pursuant to Article VIII of this
------------
Lease) received at any time by Lessor, any Lessee or the Agent from any
Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any Condemnation or
Casualty to any Leased Property or any part thereof or with respect to an Event
of Loss or an Event of Taking, plus the amount of any payment that would have
----
been due from an insurer but for a Lessee's self-insurance or deductibles ("Loss
----
Proceeds"), shall (except to the extent Section 10.9 applies) be applied as
-------- ------------
follows:
(a) In the event the related Lessee purchases such Leased Property
pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, such Loss Proceeds shall be
------------ ------------
applied as set forth in Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, as the case may be;
------------ ------------
(b) In the event of a Casualty at such time when no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the related Lessee is obligated to
repair and rebuild such Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.3, such
------------
Lessee may, in good faith and subsequent to the date of such Casualty,
certify to Lessor and to the applicable insurer that no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, in which event the applicable insurer shall
pay the Loss Proceeds to such Lessee;
15
(c) In the event of a Condemnation at such time when no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the related Lessee is obligated
to repair and rebuild such Leased Property pursuant to Section 10.4, such
------------
Lessee may, in good faith and subsequent to the date of such Condemnation,
certify to Lessor and the Agent that no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, in which event the applicable Award shall be paid over to
such Lessee; and
(d) As provided in Section 10.8, if such section is applicable.
------------
During any period of repair or rebuilding pursuant to this Article X, this
---------
Lease will remain in full force and effect and Basic Rent shall continue to

------------
file by each Lessee at its offices and shall be made available to Lessor, the
Lenders and the Agent upon request during such Lessee's normal business hours.
Section X.7 Prosecution of Awards. (a) If any Condemnation shall occur,
---------------------
the party receiving the notice of such Condemnation shall give to the other
party and the Agent promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the
occurrence thereof, written notice of such occurrence and the date thereof,
generally describing the nature and extent of such Condemnation. With respect to
any Event of Taking or any Condemnation, the related Lessee shall control the
negotiations with the relevant Governmental Authority as to any proceeding in
respect of which Awards are required, under Section 10.6, to be assigned or
------------
released to such Lessee, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, in which case (i) the Agent (or Lessor if the Loans have been fully
paid) shall control such negotiations; and (ii) such Lessee hereby irrevocably
assigns, transfers and sets over to Lessor all rights of such Lessee to any
Award on account of any Event of Taking or any Condemnation and, if there will
not be separate Awards to Lessor and such Lessee on account of such Event of
Taking or Condemnation, irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent (or Lessor
if the Loans have been fully paid) during the continuance of an Event of
Default, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Lessee or
otherwise (but without limiting the obligations of such Lessee under this
Article X), to file and prosecute what would otherwise be such Lessee's claim
---------
for any such Award and to collect, receipt for and retain the same. In any event
Lessor and the Agent may participate in such negotiations, and no settlement
will be made without the prior consent of the Agent (or Lessor if the Loans have
been fully paid), not to be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lessee may prosecute, and Lessor
shall have no interest in, any claim with respect to such Lessee's personal
property and equipment not financed by or otherwise property of Lessor, business
interruption or similar award and such Lessee's relocation expenses.
16
Section X.8 Application of Certain Payments Not Relating to an Event of
-----------------------------------------------------------
Taking. In case of a requisition for temporary use of all or a portion of any
------
Leased Property which is not an Event of Taking, this Lease shall remain in full

Lessor's remedies with respect thereto shall be limited to those set forth in
Section 5.3 of the Construction Agency Agreement.
-----------
(a) Lessor may, by notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, rescind or terminate this Lease as of
the date specified in such notice; however, (A) no reletting, reentry or taking
of possession of any Leased Property by Lessor will be construed as an election
on Lessor's part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such
intention is given to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, (B) notwithstanding any reletting, reentry or
taking of possession, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this
Lease for a continuing Event of Default, and (C) no act or thing done by Lessor
or any of its agents, representatives or employees and no agreement accepting a
surrender of any Leased Property shall be valid unless the same be made in
writing and executed by Lessor;
(b) Lessor may (i) demand that the Lessees, and the Lessees shall upon the
written demand of Lessor, return the Leased Properties promptly to Lessor in the
manner and condition required by, and otherwise in accordance with all of the
provisions of, Articles VI and XIV hereof as if the Leased Properties were being
----------- ---
returned at the end of the Lease Term, and Lessor shall not be liable for the
reimbursement of any Lessee for any costs and expenses incurred by such Lessee
in connection therewith and (ii) without prejudice to any other remedy which
Lessor may have for possession of the Leased Properties, and to the extent and
in the manner permitted by Applicable Law, enter upon any Leased Property and
take immediate possession of (to the exclusion of the related Lessee) any Leased
Property or any part thereof and expel or remove the related Lessee and any
other person who may be occupying such Leased Property, by summary proceedings
or otherwise, all without liability to any Lessee for or by reason of such entry
or taking of possession, whether for the restoration of damage to property
caused by such taking or otherwise and, in addition to Lessor's other damages,
the Lessees shall be responsible for the actual and reasonable costs and
expenses of reletting, including brokers' fees and the reasonable out-of-pocket
costs of any alterations or repairs made by Lessor;
(c) Lessor may demand, by written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, that the Lessees pay
as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty (the parties
agreeing that the
22
Lessor's actual damages would be difficult to predict, but the aforementioned
liquidated damages represent a reasonable approximation of such amount) an
amount equal to sum of (A) the Permitted Lease Balances for all of the Leased
Properties (or the Recourse Deficiency Amount pursuant to Section 13.4) and (B)
------------
any amounts due under Section 7.6 of the Master Agreement. If the sum of the
-----------
Permitted Lease Balances for all of the Leased Properties and any amounts due
under Section 7.6 of the Master Agreement equals the Lease Balance,
-----------
the Lessees shall pay the Lease Balance, and the Lessor shall convey the Leased
Property to the Lessees in accordance with Section 14.5. If the Lessees have not
------------
paid the Lease Balance pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and if the Lessor
subsequently sells the Leased Properties, the net proceeds of such sale (that
is, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Agent or
any Lender incident to holding, maintaining, insuring, securing and operating
such Leased Properties and to such conveyance (including, without limitation,
all costs, expenses, fees, premiums and taxes described in Section 14.5(b)))
---------------
shall be distributed by the Lessor as follows: first to the Lessor in the amount
-----
of the difference between (i) the Permitted Lease Balances of all of the Leased
Properties and the amounts due under Section 7.6 of the Master Agreement, and
-----------
(ii) the amount, if any, paid by the Lessees pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section; second, to the extent the Lessees have made any payment pursuant
------- ------
to the first sentence of this Section, to the Lessees to reimburse them for such
-------
payment; third, to the Lessor in an amount equal to any portion of the Lease
-----
Balance that remains unpaid and fourth, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Person or Persons
------
otherwise legally entitled thereto the remaining amounts, if any.
(d) Lessor may, at its option, not terminate this Lease, and continue to
collect all Basic Rent, Supplemental Rent, and all other amounts (including,
without limitation, the Funded Amount) due Lessor (together with all costs of
collection) and enforce the Lessees' obligations under this Lease as and when
the same become due, or are to be performed, and at the option of Lessor, upon
any abandonment of any Leased Property by Lessee or re-entry of same by Lessor,
Lessor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to terminate this
Lease with respect thereto and may make such reasonable alterations and
necessary repairs in order to relet such Leased Property, and relet such Leased
Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term
extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon
such other terms and conditions as Lessor in its reasonable discretion may deem
advisable; and upon each such reletting all rentals actually received by Lessor
from such reletting shall be applied to the Lessees' obligations hereunder in
such order, proportion and priority as Lessor may elect in Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion. If such rentals received from such reletting during any
Rent Period are less than the Rent to be paid during that Rent Period by the
Lessees hereunder, the Lessees shall pay any deficiency, as reasonably
calculated by Lessor, to Lessor on the Payment Date for such Rent Period;
(e) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy that may be available to
it under Applicable Law, or proceed by appropriate court action (legal or
equitable) to enforce the terms hereof or to recover damages for the breach
hereof. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any Rent
Period(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Lessor's
23
right to collect any such damages for any subsequent Rent Period(s), or Lessor
may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which
event such suit shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the
Lease Term; or
(f) Lessor may retain and apply against Lessor's damages all sums which
Lessor would, absent such Event of Default, be required to pay to, or turn over
to, a Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
Section XIII.2 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Consents. To the extent
----------------------------------------
permitted by, and subject to the mandatory requirements of, Applicable Law, each
and every right, power and remedy herein specifically given to Lessor or
otherwise in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each and every right, power and
remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised
from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by
Lessor, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy
shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time
or thereafter any right, power or remedy. No delay or omission by Lessor in the
exercise of any right, power or remedy or in the pursuit of any remedy shall
impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any
default on the part of any Lessee or to be an acquiescence therein. Lessor's
consent to any request made by any Lessee shall not be deemed to constitute or
preclude the necessity for obtaining Lessor's consent, in the future, to all
similar requests. No express or implied waiver by Lessor of any Event of
Default shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent Potential Event of Default or Event of Default. To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, each Lessee hereby waives any rights now or
hereafter conferred by statute or otherwise that may require Lessor to sell,
lease or otherwise use any Leased Property or part thereof in mitigation of
Lessor's damages upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or that may
otherwise limit or modify any of Lessor's rights or remedies under this Article
-------
XIII.
----
Section XIII.3 Purchase Upon an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of
---------------------------------
an Event of Default, until such time as Lessor commences material preparations
for the sale or re-lease of the Leased Properties, the Lessees may purchase all,
but not less than all, of the Leased Properties for the Lease Balance, including
any amounts due pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Master Agreement. Such purchase
shall be made in accordance with Section 14.5, upon not less than five (5)
------------
Business Days' written notice (which shall be irrevocable) to Lessor, which
notice shall set forth the date of purchase (which shall be a date no later than
thirty (30) Business Days from the date of such notice).
Section XIII.4 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding the provisions
-----------------------
of Section 13.1, the Lessees' recourse liability to Lessor as a consequence of
------------
the occurrence of a Limited Event of Default shall be limited to the payment by
the Lessees of the Recourse Deficiency Amount; provided, however if Lessor used
-------- -------
commercial reasonable standards in determining that such Limited Event of
Default occurred, then the Lessor shall be entitled to exercise any of the
24
remedies set forth in Section 13.1; and provided, further that if the sole
------------ -------- -------
existing Event of Default is (i) an Event of Default under clause (f) of Article
---------- -------
XII and the Funding Parties and their Affiliates, either collectively or
---
individually, have the ability to control (by vote or otherwise) whether such
Indebtedness will become due prior to its stated maturity, (ii) an Event of
Default pursuant to clause (n) of Article XII that is based on the
---------- -----------
representation by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ set forth in the last sentence of Section 4.1(c) of the
Master Agreement or in the last sentence of Section 4.1(s) of the Master
Agreement or (iii) an Event of Default pursuant to clause (k)(ii) of Article XII
-------------- -----------
or clause (f) of Article XII resulting from a Cross Default, the Lessees'
---------- -----------
recourse liability to Lessor shall be limited to the payment by the Lessees of
the Recourse Deficiency Amount.

---------------------------------------------------
Section XIV.1 Lessee's Option to Purchase. (a) Subject to the terms,

conditions and provisions set forth in this Article XIV, each Lessee shall have
-----------
the option (the "Purchase Option"), to be exercised as set forth below, to
---------------
purchase from Lessor, Lessor's interest in all of the Leased Properties;
provided that, except as set forth in paragraph (b) below, such option must be
-------- -------------
exercised with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Leased Properties
under all of the Lease Supplements. Such option must be exercised by written
notice to Lessor not later than twelve (12) months prior to the Lease
Termination Date which notice shall be irrevocable; such notice shall specify
the date that such purchase shall take place, which date shall be a date
occurring not less than thirty (30) days after such notice or the Lease
Termination Date (whichever is earlier). If the Purchase Option is exercised
pursuant to the foregoing, then, subject to the provisions set forth in this
Article XIV, on the applicable purchase date or the Lease Termination Date, as
-----------
the case may be, Lessor shall convey to each Lessee, by special warranty deed
and ▇▇▇▇ of sale, without recourse or warranty (other than as to the absence of
Lessor Liens) and each Lessee shall purchase from Lessor, Lessor's interest in
the Leased Properties leased by such Lessee.
(b) Subject to the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this
Article XIV, each Lessee shall have the option (the "Partial Purchase Option"),
----------- -----------------------
to be exercised as set forth below, to purchase from Lessor Lessor's interest in
any Leased Property leased by such Lessee, provided that after giving effect to
--------
such purchase, not less than one Leased Property remain subject to this Lease.
Such option may be exercised by written notice to Lessor at any time prior to
the last year of the term of this Lease, which notice shall be irrevocable; such
notice shall specify the Leased Property to be purchased and the date that such
purchase shall take place, which date shall be a date occurring not less than
thirty (30) days after such notice. If a Partial Purchase Option is exercised
pursuant to the foregoing, subject to the provisions set forth in this Article
-------
XIV, on the applicable purchase date, Lessor shall convey to the related Lessee,
---
and such Lessee shall purchase from Lessor, Lessor's interest in the Leased
Property that is the subject of such Partial Purchase Option pursuant to Section
-------
14.5.
----
25
Section XIV.2 Conveyance to Lessee. Unless (a) the Lessees shall have

properly exercised the Purchase Option and purchased the Leased Properties
pursuant to Section 14.1(a) or 14.1(b) hereof, or (b) the Lessees shall have
--------------- -------
properly exercised the Remarketing Option and shall have fulfilled all of the
conditions of Section 14.6 hereof, then, subject to the terms, conditions and
------------
provisions set forth in this Article XIV, each Lessee shall purchase from
-----------
Lessor, and Lessor shall convey to each Lessee, on the Lease Termination Date
all of Lessor's interest in the Leased Properties leased to such Lessee. Any
Lessee may designate, in a notice given to Lessor not less than ten (10)
Business Days prior to the closing of such purchase, or any purchase pursuant to
Section 14.1(a) or (b) (time being of the essence), the transferee to whom the
--------------- ---
conveyance shall be made (if other than to such Lessee), in which case such
conveyance shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be made
to such designee; provided, however, that such designation of a transferee shall
-------- -------
not cause any Lessee to be released, fully or partially, from any of its
obligations under this Lease.
Section XIV.3 [Reserved]
Section XIV.4 Determination of Purchase Price. Upon the purchase by the
-------------------------------
Lessees of Lessor's interest in the Leased Properties upon the exercise of the
Purchase Option or pursuant to Section 14.2, the aggregate purchase price for
------------
all of the Leased Properties shall be an amount equal to the Lease Balance as of
the closing date for such purchase, including any amount due pursuant to Section
7.5(f) of the Master Agreement as a result of such purchase. Upon the purchase
by a Lessee of Lessor's interest in a Leased Property upon the exercise of a
Partial Purchase Option or pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2, the purchase price
------------ ----
for such Leased Property shall be an amount equal to the Leased Property Balance
for such Leased Property as of the closing date for such purchase, including any
amount due pursuant to Section 7.5(f) of the Master Agreement as the result of
the purchase of such Leased Property.
Section XIV.5 Purchase Procedure. (a) If a Lessee shall purchase
------------------
Lessor's interest in a Leased Property pursuant to any provision of this Lease,
(i) such Lessee shall accept from Lessor and Lessor shall convey such Leased
Property by a duly executed and acknowledged special warranty deed and quit
claim ▇▇▇▇ of sale of such a Leased Property in recordable form, (ii) upon the
date fixed for any purchase of Lessor's interest in Leased Property hereunder,
the related Lessee(s) shall pay to the order of the Agent (or Lessor if the
Loans have been paid in full) the Lease Balance or Leased Property Balance, as
applicable, plus any amount due pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Master Agreement
as a result of such purchase by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
(iii) Lessor will execute and deliver to the related Lessee such other
documents, including releases, affidavits, termination agreements and
termination statements, as may be legally required or as may be reasonably
requested by Lessee in order to effect such conveyance, free and clear of Lessor
Liens and the Liens of the Operative Documents and (iv) if such Leased Property
is subject to a Ground Lease, Lessor will execute and deliver to the related
Lessee an assignment or termination of such Ground Lease, as directed by such
Lessee, in such form as
26
may be reasonably requested by such Lessee, and such Lessee shall pay any
amounts due with respect thereto under such Ground Lease.
(b) Each Lessee shall, at such Lessee's sole cost and expense, obtain all
required governmental and regulatory approval and consents and in connection
therewith shall make such filings as required by Applicable Law; in the event
that Lessor is required by Applicable Law to take any action in connection with
such purchase and sale, the Lessees shall pay prior to transfer all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lessor in connection therewith. Without
limiting the foregoing, all costs incident to such conveyance, including,
without limitation, each Lessee's attorneys' fees, Lessor's attorneys' fees,
commissions, each Lessee's and Lessor's escrow fees, recording fees, title
insurance premiums and all applicable documentary transfer or other transfer
taxes and other taxes required to be paid in order to record the transfer
documents that might be imposed by reason of such conveyance and the delivery of
such deed shall be borne entirely by and paid by the Lessees.
(c) Upon expiration or termination of this Lease resulting in conveyance
of Lessor's interest in the title to the Leased Properties to the Lessees, there
shall be no apportionment of rents (including, without limitation, water rents
and sewer rents), taxes, insurance, utility charges or other charges payable
with respect to the Leased Properties, all of such rents, taxes, insurance,
utility or other charges due and payable with respect to the Leased Properties
prior to termination being payable by the Lessees hereunder and all due after
such time being payable by the Lessees as the then owners of the Leased
Properties.
Section XIV.6 Option to Remarket. Subject to the fulfillment of each of
------------------
the conditions set forth in this Section 14.6, the Lessees shall have the option
------------
to market all of, but not less than all of, the Leased Properties for Lessor
(the "Remarketing Option").
------------------
The Lessees' effective exercise and consummation of the Remarketing Option
shall be subject to the due and timely fulfillment of each of the following
provisions, the failure of any of which, unless waived in writing by Lessor and
the Lenders, shall render the Remarketing Option and the Lessees' exercise
thereof null and void, in which event, each Lessee shall be obligated to perform
its obligations under Section 14.2.
------------
(a) Not later than twelve (12) months prior to the Lease Termination
Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall give to Lessor and the Agent written notice of the
Lessees' exercise of the Remarketing Option.
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Lease
Termination Date, each Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and the Agent an
environmental assessment of each Leased Property leased by it dated not
more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Lease Termination
Date. Such environmental assessment shall be prepared by an environmental
consultant selected by the related Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to
the
27
Required Funding Parties, shall be in form, detail and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Funding Parties, and shall otherwise indicate
no degradation in environmental conditions beyond those described in the
related Environmental Audit for which corrective action is required by
Applicable Law and shall not include a recommendation for further
investigation to make such determination.
(c) On the date of ▇▇▇▇▇▇' notice to Lessor and the Agent of the
Lessees' exercise of the Remarketing Option, each of the Construction
Conditions shall have been timely satisfied and no Event of Default or
Potential Event of Default shall exist, and thereafter, no Event of Default
or Potential Event of Default shall exist under this Lease.
(d) Each Lessee shall have completed in all material respects all
Alterations, restoration and rebuilding of the Leased Properties leased by
it pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2, 10.3 and 10.4 (as the case may be) and
------------ --- ---- ----
shall have fulfilled in all material respects all of the conditions and
requirements in connection therewith pursuant to said Sections, in each
--------
case by the date on which Lessor and the Agent receive ▇▇▇▇▇▇' notice of
the Lessees' exercise of the Remarketing Option (time being of the
essence), regardless of whether the same shall be within such Lessee's
control.
(e) Upon request by the Agent, each Lessee shall promptly provide any
maintenance records relating to each Leased Property leased by it to
Lessor, the Agent and any potential purchaser, and shall otherwise do all
things necessary to deliver possession of such Leased Property to the
potential purchaser at the appropriate closing date. Each Lessee shall
allow Lessor, the Agent and any potential purchaser reasonable access
during normal business hours to any Leased Property for the purpose of
inspecting the same.
(f) On the Lease Termination Date, each Lessee shall surrender the
Leased Properties leased by it in accordance with Section 14.8 hereof.
------------
(g) In connection with any such sale of the Leased Properties, each
Lessee will provide to the purchaser all customary "seller's" indemnities
reasonably requested by the potential purchaser (taking into account the
location and nature of the Leased Properties), representations and
warranties regarding title, absence of Liens (except Lessor Liens) and the
condition of the Leased Properties. Each Lessee shall fulfill all of the
requirements set forth in clause (b) of Section 14.5, and such requirements
---------- ------------
are incorporated herein by reference. As to Lessor, any such sale shall be
made on an "as is, with all faults" basis without representation or
warranty by Lessor, other than the absence of Lessor Liens.
(h) In connection with any such sale of Leased Properties, each
Lessee shall pay directly, and not from the sale proceeds, all prorations,
credits, costs and expenses of the sale of the Leased Properties leased by
it, whether incurred by Lessor, any Lender, the Agent or such Lessee,
including without limitation, to the extent not paid by the
28
purchaser, the cost of all title insurance, surveys, environmental reports,
appraisals, transfer taxes, Lessor's and the Agent's attorneys' fees, such
Lessee's attorneys' fees, commissions, escrow fees, recording fees, and all
applicable documentary and other transfer taxes.
(i) The Lessees, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Agent on the
Lease Termination Date (or to such other Person as Agent shall notify
Lessee in writing, or in the case of Supplemental Rent, to the Person
entitled thereto) an amount equal to the Recourse Deficiency Amount, plus
----
all accrued and unpaid Basic Rent and Supplemental Rent, and all other
amounts hereunder which have accrued prior to or as of such date, in the
type of funds specified in Section 3.3 hereof.
-----------
If the Lessees have exercised the Remarketing Option, the following additional
provisions shall apply: During the period commencing on the date twelve (12)
months prior to the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term, one or more of the
Lessees shall, as nonexclusive agent for Lessor, use commercially reasonable
efforts to sell Lessor's interest in the Leased Properties and will attempt to
obtain the highest purchase price therefor. The costs of such marketing of the
Leased Properties shall be paid through the sales proceeds. Lessee promptly
shall submit all bids to Lessor and the Agent and Lessor; the Agent will have
the right to review the same; and the Agent and Lessor will have the right to
submit any one or more bids. All bids shall be on an all-cash basis. In no
event shall such bidder be a Lessee or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Lessee.
The written offer must specify the Lease Termination Date as the closing date.
If, and only if, the aggregate selling price (net of closing costs, marketing
costs and prorations, as reasonably estimated by the Agent) (the "Offer Price")
-----------
is less than the Lease Balance at such time, then Lessor or the Agent may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, by notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, given within 30 days of
receipt of such offer, reject such offer to purchase, in which event the parties
will proceed according to the provisions of Section 14.7 hereof. If neither
------------
Lessor nor the Agent rejects such purchase offer as provided above, the closing
of such purchase of the Leased Properties by such purchaser shall occur on the
Lease Termination Date, contemporaneously with the Lessees' surrender of the
Leased Properties in accordance with Section 14.8 hereof, and the gross proceeds
------------
of the sale (i.e., without deduction for any marketing, closing or other costs,
prorations or commissions) shall be paid directly to the Agent (or Lessor if the
Funded Amounts have been fully paid). The Agent shall distribute the proceeds
derived from any such sale first, to the Lessor in an amount of the difference
-----
between (i) the Permitted Lease Balances and all amounts payable under Section
7.6 of the Master Agreement for all of the Leased Properties and (ii) the
Recourse Deficiency Amount for all of the Leased Properties, if any, received by
the Agent from the Lessees, second, to the extent the Lessees have paid the
------
Recourse Deficiency Amount to the Agent, to the Lessees to reimburse them to the
extent of its payment of the Recourse Deficiency Amount, third, to the Lessor in
------
an amount equal to the remaining unpaid portion of the Lease Balance, and
fourth, to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Person or Persons otherwise legally entitled thereto
the remaining amounts, if any.
29
Section XIV.7 Rejection of Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained
-----------------
herein to the contrary, if Lessor or the Agent rejects the purchase offer for
the Leased Properties as provided in (and subject to the conditions set forth
in) Section 14.6, then the Agent shall have an appraisal done of the Leased
------------
Properties by an independent third party appraiser selected by the Agent, which
appraiser shall determine the Fair Market Sales Value of the Leased Properties
(such Fair Market Sales Value, less the cost of such appraisal, the "Appraised
---------
Value"). If (a) the Appraised Value shall be equal to or greater than the Offer
-----
Price and the Lessor in its sole discretion still elects to proceed with such
sale or (b) the Appraised Value shall be less than the Offer Price, the Leased
Properties shall be sold, and the proceeds of such sale shall be distributed, in
accordance with Section 14.6. If the Appraised Value shall be equal to or
------------
greater than the Offer Price and the Lessor shall not have elected to sell the
Leased Properties, (a) the Lessor shall refund to the Lessees the amount by
which (i) the Recourse Deficiency Amount paid by the Lessees pursuant to Section
-------
14.6(g) exceeds (ii) the amount by which (A) the Permitted Lease Balance exceeds
-------
(B) the Appraised Value, and (b) the Lessor shall retain title to the Leased
Properties and shall retain all future proceeds of such Leased Properties free
and clear of all claims of any Lessee.
Section XIV.8 Return of Leased Property. If Lessor retains title to any
-------------------------
Leased Property pursuant to Section 14.7 hereof, then each Lessee shall, on the
------------
Lease Termination Date, and at its own expense, return possession of the Leased
Properties leased by it to Lessor for retention by Lessor or, if the Lessees
properly exercise the Remarketing Option and fulfill all of the conditions of
Section 14.6 hereof and neither Lessor nor the Agent rejects such purchase offer
------------
pursuant to Section 14.6, then each Lessee shall, on such Lease Termination
------------
Date, and at its own cost, transfer possession of the Leased Properties leased
by it to the independent purchaser thereof, in each case by surrendering the
same into the possession of Lessor or such purchaser, as the case may be, free
and clear of all Liens other than Lessor Liens, in as good condition as it was
on the Completion Date therefor in the case of new Construction, or the Funding
Date (as modified by Alterations permitted by this Lease), ordinary wear and
tear excepted, and in compliance in all material respects with Applicable Law.
Each Lessee shall, on and within a reasonable time before and after the Lease
Termination Date, cooperate with Lessor and the independent purchaser of any
Leased Property leased by such Lessee in order to facilitate the ownership and
operation by such purchaser of such Leased Property after the Lease Termination
Date, which cooperation shall include the following, all of which such Lessee
shall do on or before the Lease Termination Date or as soon thereafter as is
reasonably practicable: providing all books and records regarding the related
Lessee's maintenance of such Leased Property and all know-how, data and
technical information relating thereto, providing a copy of the Plans and
Specifications within the possession of such Lessee or ▇▇▇▇▇▇, granting or
assigning all licenses (to the extent assignable) necessary for the operation
and maintenance of such Leased Property, and cooperating in seeking and
obtaining all necessary Governmental Action. Each Lessee shall have also paid
the cost of all Alterations commenced prior to the Lease Termination Date. The
obligations of such Lessee under this Article XIV shall survive the expiration
-----------
or termination of this Lease.
30
Section XIV.9 Renewal. Subject to the conditions set forth herein,
-------
▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, by written notice to Lessor and the Agent given not later than
twelve months and not earlier than sixteen months, prior to the end of the Base
Term or the end of the first renewal term, as the case may be, request to renew
this Lease for five years, commencing on the date following such Lease
Termination Date, provided that in no event shall the Lease Term exceed fifteen
--------
(15) years. No later than the date that is 45 days after the date the request
to renew has been delivered to each of Lessor and the Agent, the Agent will
notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ whether or not Lessor and the Lenders consent to such renewal
request (which consent may be granted or denied in the Lessor's and each
Lender's sole discretion and may be conditioned on such conditions precedent as
may be specified by Lessor or such Lender). If the Agent fails to respond in
such time frame, such failure shall be deemed to be a rejection of such request.
ARTICLE XV.
LESSEE'S EQUIPMENT
------------------
After any repossession of any Leased Property (whether or not this Lease
has been terminated), the related Lessee, at its expense and so long as such
removal of such trade fixture, personal property or equipment shall not result
in a violation of Applicable Law, shall, within a reasonable time after such
repossession or within ninety (90) days after such Lessee's receipt of Lessor's
written request (whichever shall first occur), remove all of such Lessee's trade
fixtures, personal property and equipment from such Leased Property (to the
extent that the same can be readily removed from such Leased Property without
causing material damage to such Leased Property); provided, however, that such
-------- -------
Lessee shall not remove any such trade fixtures, personal property or equipment
that has been financed by Lessor under the Operative Documents or otherwise
constituting Leased Property (or that constitutes a replacement of such
property). Any of a Lessee's trade fixtures, personal property and equipment
not so removed by such Lessee within such period shall be considered abandoned
by such Lessee, and title thereto shall without further act vest in Lessor, and
may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor without
notice to any Lessee and without obligation to account therefor and the related
Lessee will pay Lessor, upon written demand, all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor in removing, storing or disposing of the same and all costs
and expenses incurred by Lessor to repair any damage to such Leased Property
caused by such removal. Each Lessee will immediately repair at its expense all
damage to such Leased Property caused by any such removal (unless such removal
is effected by Lessor, in which event such Lessee shall pay all reasonable costs

------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or

liable to perform its obligations hereunder except to the extent of such
unenforceability. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Lessee hereby
waives any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or

modified orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by Lessor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 of the Master Agreement. This
Lease, together with the applicable Lease Supplement and the other Operative
Documents, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their lease
agreement and as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms thereof, all
negotiations, considerations and representations between the parties having been
incorporated herein and therein. No course of prior dealings between the
parties or their officers, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be relevant or
admissible to supplement, explain, or vary any of the terms of this Lease or any
other Operative Document. Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a course of
performance rendered under this or any prior agreement between the parties or
their Affiliates shall not be relevant or admissible to determine the meaning of
any of the terms of this Lease or any other Operative Document. No
representations, undertakings, or agreements have been made or relied upon in
the making of this Lease other than those specifically set forth in the
Operative Documents.
Section XVII.7 Construction. This Lease shall not be construed more
------------
strictly against any one party, it being recognized that both of the parties
hereto have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation and
negotiation of this Lease.
Section XVII.8 Headings. The Table of Contents and headings of the
--------
various Articles and Sections of this Lease are for convenience of reference
only and shall not modify, define or limit any of the terms or provisions
hereof.
Section XVII.9 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed by the parties
------------
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument.
Section XVII.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
-------------
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
34
STATE OF FLORIDA APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY
WITHIN SUCH STATE, EXCEPT AS TO MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION OF THE
LEASEHOLD OR MORTGAGE ESTATES HEREUNDER, AND THE EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
WITH RESPECT THERETO, WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAW OF THE STATES IN WHICH SUCH ESTATES ARE LOCATED.
Section XVII.11 Discharge of Lessee's Obligations by its Subsidiaries or
--------------------------------------------------------
Affiliates. Lessor agrees that performance of any Lessee's obligations
----------
hereunder by one or more of such Lessee's Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall
constitute performance by Lessee of such obligations to the same extent and with
the same effect hereunder as if such obligations were performed by such Lessee,
but no such performance shall excuse any Lessee from any obligation not
performed by it or on its behalf under the Operative Documents.
Section XVII.12 Liability of Lessor Limited. Except as otherwise
---------------------------
expressly provided below in this Section 17.12, it is expressly understood and
-------------
agreed by and between each Lessee, Lessor and their respective successors and
assigns that nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any
liability of Lessor or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents, individually or personally, for any
failure to perform any covenant, either express or implied, contained herein,
all such liability (other than that resulting from Lessor's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, except to the extent imputed to Lessor by virtue of any
Lessee's action or failure to act), if any, being expressly waived by each
Lessee and by each and every Person now or hereafter claiming by, through or
under any Lessee, and that, so far as Lessor or any of its Affiliates or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, individually or
personally, is concerned, each Lessee and any Person claiming by, through or
under any Lessee shall look solely to the right, title and interest of Lessor in
and to the Leased Properties and any proceeds from Lessor's sale or encumbrance
thereof (provided, however, that no Lessee shall be entitled to any double
-------- -------
recovery) for the performance of any obligation under this Lease and under the
Operative Documents and the satisfaction of any liability arising therefrom
(other than that resulting from Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct,
except to the extent imputed to Lessor by virtue of any Lessee's action or
failure to act).
Section XVII.13 Estoppel Certificates. Each party hereto agrees that at
---------------------
any time and from time to time during the Lease Term, it will promptly, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after request by the other party hereto,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party or to any prospective
purchaser (if such prospective purchaser has signed a commitment or letter of
intent to purchase any Leased Property or any part thereof or any Note),
assignee or mortgagee or third party designated by such other party, a
certificate stating (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in force and effect
(or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in force and effect as
modified, and identifying the modification agreements); (b) the date to which
Basic Rent has been paid; (c) whether or not there is any existing default by
any Lessee in the payment of Basic Rent or any other sum of money hereunder, and
whether or not there is any other existing default
35
by either party with respect to which a notice of default has been served, and,
if there is any such default, specifying the nature and extent thereof; (d)
whether or not, to the knowledge of the signer, there are any setoffs, defenses
or counterclaims against enforcement of the obligations to be performed
hereunder existing in favor of the party executing such certificate and (e)
other items that may be reasonably requested; provided that no such certificate
--------
may be requested unless the requesting party has a good faith reason for such
request.
Section XVII.14 No Joint Venture. Any intention to create a joint
----------------
venture, partnership or other fiduciary relationship between Lessor and any
Lessee is hereby expressly disclaimed.
Section XVII.15 No Accord and Satisfaction. The acceptance by Lessor of
--------------------------
any sums from any Lessee (whether as Basic Rent or otherwise) in amounts which
are less than the amounts due and payable by the Lessees hereunder is not
intended, nor shall be construed, to constitute an accord and satisfaction of
any dispute between Lessor and any Lessee regarding sums due and payable by any
Lessee hereunder, unless Lessor specifically deems it as such in writing.
Section XVII.16 No Merger. In no event shall the leasehold interests,
---------
estates or rights of any Lessee hereunder, or of the holder of any Notes secured
by a security interest in this Lease, merge with any interests, estates or
rights of Lessor in or to the Leased Properties, it being understood that such
leasehold interests, estates and rights of each Lessee hereunder, and of the
holder of any Notes secured by a security interest in this Lease, shall be
deemed to be separate and distinct from Lessor's interests, estates and rights
in or to the Leased Properties, notwithstanding that any such interests, estates
or rights shall at any time or times be held by or vested in the same person,
corporation or other entity.
Section XVII.17 Survival. The obligations of the parties to be
--------
performed under this Lease prior to the Lease Termination Date and the
obligations of the parties pursuant to Articles III, X, XI, XIII, Sections 14.2,
-------- --- - -- ---- -------------
14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.8, Articles XV, and XVI, and Sections 17.10 and 17.12 shall
---- ---- ---- ---- -------- -- --- -------------- -----
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. The extension of any
applicable statute of limitations by Lessor, any Lessee, the Agent or any
Indemnitee shall not affect such survival.
Section XVII.18 Chattel Paper. To the extent that this Lease constitutes
-------------
chattel paper (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code in any
applicable jurisdiction), no security interest in this Lease may be created
through the transfer or possession of any counterpart other than the sole
original counterpart, which shall be identified as the original counterpart by
the receipt of the Agent.
Section XVII.19 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
---------------
36
Section XVII.20 Recordation of Lease. Each Lessee will, at its expense,
--------------------
cause this Lease or a memorandum of lease in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and such Lessee (if permitted by Applicable Law) to be
recorded in the proper office or offices in the States and the municipalities in
which the Land is located.
Section XVII.21 Investment of Security Funds. The parties hereto agree
----------------------------
that any amounts not payable to a Lessee pursuant to any provision of Article
-------
VIII, X or XIV or this Section 17.21 shall be held by the Agent (or Lessor if
---- - --- -------------
the Loans have been fully paid) as security for the obligations of the Lessees
under this Lease and the Master Agreement and of Lessor under the Loan
Agreement. At such time as such amounts are payable to the Lessee, such
amounts, net of any amounts previously applied to the Lessees' obligations
hereunder or under the Master Agreement (which application is hereby agreed to
by Lessee), shall be paid to the related Lessee. Any such amounts which are
held by the Agent (or Lessor if the Loans have been fully paid) pending payment
to a Lessee shall until paid to such Lessee, as provided hereunder or until
applied against the Lessees' obligations herein and under the Master Agreement
and distributed as provided in the Loan Agreement or herein (after the Loan
Agreement is no longer in effect) in connection with any exercise of remedies
hereunder, be invested by the Agent or Lessor, as the case may be, as directed
from time to time in writing by Lessee (provided, however, if an Event of
-------- -------
Default has occurred and is continuing it will be directed by the Agent or, if
the Loans have been fully paid, Lessor) and at the expense and risk of the
Lessees, in Permitted Investments. Any gain (including interest received)
realized as the result of any such investment (net of any fees, commissions and
other expenses, if any, incurred in connection with such investment) shall be
applied in the same manner as the principal invested. Lessee upon demand shall
pay to the Agent or Lessor, as appropriate, the amount of any loss incurred in
connection with all such investments and the liquidation thereof.
Section XVII.22 Ground Leases. Each Lessee will, at its expense, timely
-------------
perform all of the obligations of Lessor, in its capacity as ground lessee,
under each Ground Lease and, if requested by Lessor, shall provide satisfactory
evidence to Lessor of such performance.
Section XVII.23 Land and Building. If the cost of the Raw Land related
-----------------
to any Leased Property exceeds 25% of the projected Leased Property Balance for
such Leased Property as set forth in the Construction Budget for such Leased
Property, the Raw Land and the Building related to such Leased Property shall be
leased under separate Lease Supplements. If any Building and the Raw Land on
which such Building is located are subject to separate Lease Supplements, at any
time that the related Lessee exercises an option to purchase such Building or
such Raw Land, or to renew this Lease with respect to such Building or such Raw
Land, or purchases such Building or such Land as a result of an Event of Loss,
an Event of Taking or an Event of Default, such purchase or renewal shall be
made simultaneously with respect to all of such Building and such Raw Land. In
the event that the Remarketing Option is exercised pursuant to Section 14.6, the
------------
amount paid by the related Lessee pursuant to Section 14.6 shall be
------------
37
determined separately for the Raw Land and Building thereon if such Raw Land and
Building are leased under separate Lease Supplements.
Section XVII.24 Joint and Several. Each obligation of each Lessee
-----------------
hereunder shall be a joint and several obligation of all of the Lessees.
Section XVII.25 IDB Documentation. If any Leased Property is subject to
-----------------
an IDB Lease, this Lease shall be deemed to be a sublease. Each Lessee hereby
agrees to perform all of its obligations and all obligations of Lessor under all
IDB Documentation related to any Leased Property. In the event that a Lessee
purchases any Leased Property that is the subject of IDB Documentation, such
Lessee shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, the Bonds related to such Leased
Property or shall assume all obligations of the Lessor related to such IDB
Documentation and cause the Lessor to be released therefrom pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor.
